    Sweet Valentine Design Contest

This is a small decorative candle holder I designed while experimenting with new 3D‑printing techniques. I wanted to challenge myself with layered shapes, clean curves, and a bold heart design that really pops when lit.
Why I Made It:
I’m trying to push my skills by making things I haven’t tried before. This project helped me practice shaping details, working with contrast, and creating something that feels special as a gift or display piece.
Printing Notes:
•     Printed in PLA
•     No supports needed
•     Works best with a small LED tealight
•     I used a slow outer-wall speed to keep the edges crisp
Tips:
If you want the heart design to stand out even more, try using a glitter or silk filament. It catches the light beautifully.
Personal Note:
I’m still learning and improving, so any feedback is welcome. Hope you enjoy printing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
